So this is the last chance for you to stock up or grab those items off your wish list before they are gone for good! Check out all the details below, then share the list with your friends today. Be sure to check my website for the current product list.

Be sure to note the lists were created with very small font, so it will print small. You may want to increase  your view. The document on the left is the retired list for the January - June Occasions catalog and the the document on the right is the retired list from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.

Before adhering to the card I added strip of twine to cover the seam.
I used the Layering Squares dies for a white element. Stamped the flower in Early Espresso and lightly colored with Pool Party Stampin Blends. I also colored a few Rhinestones using the blends.   The small tag is cut in Pretty Peacock CS and it's 1" wide. I just eyeballed the length. Finished with some Pretty Peacock Ribbon.

What do you think? I hope you share your designs too. Please remember even though I am exclusive to Stampin Up products, you can feel free to use whatever your favorite products are and whatever you have on hand.

Mother's Day is May 10, 2020 here in the USA. So I decided to not only feature flowers, but to also make my projects for Mother's Day! At this point, not sure if my projects will be hand delivered or mailed. We will just have to wait and see!
I've been loving the new Stampin Up Ornate Garden Suite. I chose this suite this month because it has so many flowers in this suite. And the big flower arrangement stamp was perfect!
I made this easy adorable lidded box and matching card for you! SO let's dive right in!

I cut the frame using the die from the Ornate Layers Dies. It is the second largest. Then I cut a piece of Whisper White to layer on top and embossed it using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the Flower image from the Ornate Style Stamp set in Black and colored with coordinating Stampin' Blends Markers; Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. Finished with some pearls and the Calypso Coral ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.  Now I did all of this twice since I used the same design on the card.

The box is a good size as you can see from the picture above, I included a travel tissue pack the and the lid goes on perfectly fine! You can tealights to this box too, so you can see just how much you can fit.

 I made my card to match the box, so as I mentioned above, I stamped and cut the images twice so when I got the card, it was basically assembly. The card base is Calypso Coral. I added a layer of DSP first that measures 4 1/8'x 5 3/8". The DSP is from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today and I have inspired you to make one on your own! Please feel free to contact me with any questions!!!
Be sure to check out the next blog during this month's blog hop, Jo Blackman! I'd love to hear what you think, so feel free to leave a comment!!!
Take care

Here is my complete card challenge. I made the card using the Stampin Up Birthday Bonzana Suite! This was such a fun card to make so bright and cheerful!! I used Coastal Cabana for the cardbase, added a layer of DSP 4 1/8”x5 5/8” then a strip of Bermuda Bay 1 1/2”x5 5/8” I cut out to different layered circles, I used Mango Melody for the card stock layer and off set them onto the DSP! The greeting is also from the Birthday Buddies set in this suite stamped on Whisper White and a layer of Coastal Cabana. I punched out 3 balloons using DSP, Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody.
So fun right!!

I had fun so I decided to keep going and stepped up my original design. I added the little lion and some rhinestones and what a difference it makes!
what do you think??
